Stocking Trouble......
I made Stockings for all of us 3 years ago, DH, DS and myself. Well when I went to our local craft store so I could make one for Taylor they told me that they aren't selling them anymore...what am I going to do? They are simple plain cream color canvas stockings. I did a google search and I can't find any. I decided to post here to see if any of you have an idea? I really want to make her one to match ours...I am soooo bummed! I would post a picture of what I am looking for but I don't have the software to shrink the picture so I can post it. Please help me....
Bummer! Have you tried other craft stores? Send me the pic and I'll shrink and post it here. It will be a big help for us to see what they look like. siennatrina @ yahoo.com Another option would be to make the whole family new, matching stockings. Not the preferred route, but ...
Could you at least find the same color canvas and make one? I'm pretty sewing-challenged, but I'd be tempted to try something like that (especially if I didn't have to worry about having to 'fit' someone ) You could even use one of the originals as a pattern.
None of our stockings match. I have mine from youth and DH when we met and DD's when she was born. I have also gone out to purchase new ones just to have matching ones.
Would any of these work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19159&item=8151724680&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10939&item=2291253590&rd=1 I hate messing up the spacing of the post, I'm so sorry!!!
Oooooh, it didn't mess it up when it actually posted! Yay!
Here are Andi's stockings.
From the picture it looks like a pretty basic canvas, did you try any other craft or fabric stores??
Andi, the second ebay link I posted looks like it. Actually, the first one does, too, I just can't tell if it has the loop at the top. But it must...otherwise how would you hang it? Check the links, I think you'll be pleased.
Thank you Trina! Yes, those ones on Ebay do look like what I'm looking for, except they dont have the fold on the top. But they are close...THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I just knew you all could help me. I will watch those ones on Ebay but if anyone knows where I can buy them online or knows a store I would love to hear about it. Thanks again guys.
